Public bug reported:
The docs
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZestyZapus/ReleaseNotes#Upgrading_from_Ubuntu_16.10
say to use do-release-upgrade but:
$ sudo do-release-upgrade
Checking for a new Ubuntu release
No new release found.
Asking for a development version instead throws a traceback:
$ sudo do-release-upgrade -d
Checking for a new Ubuntu release
